Power problems

Haveing a problem with my girlfriends 2001 Civic ex coupe. It doesnt seem to have as much power now and i was wondering if anyone know about problems these cars have around 50000 miles. Its really a wierd things cause it doesnt feel that much diffrent than her brothers 2001. It just sounds like it could have a blocked cat but it doesnt feel like that just kinda feels like the ac is drawing extra power out of the car.

Its a honda, that is the problem. LOL Maybe you need to replace the air filter, spark plugs, o2 sensors, change oil, tranny fluid, coolant.

Ive kept up on her car to the milage that the factory suggests. The only thing i can figure is she has done a large amount of city driving. I am going to do the plugs this weekend. The trans fluid hasnt really gotten dark yet. The one thing i have notice it has alot of pressure inside the block like it has alot of blowby. So i am also going to change the pcv if it has one.
